Inner Seeing at Beer Lahai Roi
Genesis 16:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hagar’s encounter reveals the Lord who sees her. The naming of the well marks the presence of attentive, guiding consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your world is a state of consciousness; Hagar's desert is your inner wilderness where the Lord who speaks to her is the voice of your I AM. When she calls Him Thou God seest me, she wakes to the fact that awareness itself is the watcher and the sustainer. Beer-lahai-roi, the well between Kadesh and Bered, is the symbol of your inner reservoir of life and guidance, always present where you turn in trust. The question Have I also here looked after him that seeth me is a consciousness affirmation: you are the one who sees and is seen by the unseen governor of your life. In Neville terms, Providence is psychological; the scene shifts as you enter a state in which you feel seen, cared for, and led. So the invitation is to revise: know that you are already seen by your own awareness, and let that recognition permeate your circumstances until the outer aligns with the inner truth. The name of the well becomes your own inner title of completion: I am seen by the I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and repeat I am seen by the I AM until that feeling rises. Picture the inner well of awareness and drink from it, knowing you are always watched over by consciousness.
